NOTE: THIS SOFTENER IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED FOR TREATING WATER THAT
IS MICROBIOLOGICALLY UNSAFE OR OF UNKNOWN QUALITY WITHOUT
ADEQUATE DISINFECTION WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE SYSTEM.
Water Softener Positioning:
1. Place water softener in desired position, far enough from walls and
other obstructions to allow for servicing the unit.
2. Place the water softener within reasonable access to a grounded
115V/60 HZ circuit and a legal drain line connection.
Water Softener Tank Loading:
(Only the MP-CLR-75 needs to be loaded))
1. Remove yellow caplug from top of tank. DO NOT CUT white riser
tube. Tube was prefitted at the factory.
2. Check the riser to ensure that it is seated securely in the bottom
plate. The top of the distributor pipe will be flush with the top of the
tank (this was prefitted at the factory).
3. Cover the top opening of the distributor pipe before filling the tank
with media (if necessary).
4. Pour the C-800 provided with the unit into the top of the tank. See
page one for your specific model number unit to determine the
amount of media to load into the mineral tank.
5. Remove the material used to cover the top opening of the distributor
pipe.
MP-Clear Reflections Control Valve:
1. When facing the front of the MP-Clear Reflections timer, the inlet
connection is located on the right and the outlet connection is on the
left. The control valve's inlet and outlet connections are either 1”
copper or PVC equipped with split ring and nut.

1. Turn the control valve upside down and ensure that the control valve
distributor o’ring is in place. Use silicone lubricant on the o'ring.
**DO NOT USE PETROLEUM!**
**USE ONLY SILICONE **
2. Place the control valve onto the distributor pipe and into the tank
opening.
3. Thread the control valve hand tight . Do not overtighten.
4. Locate the bypass valve assembly that is packaged with the
control valve. The bypass valve has two red handles that
indicate flow direction, two threaded connections for the tail
piece kit and two o’ring seal connections with nuts for the control
valve. Align the insert connection ends with o’ring seals and
nuts to the inlet and outlet connections of the control valve.
Hand tighten the nuts. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE NUT!

5. Locate the tail piece kit that is packaged with the control valve.
The standard tail piece kit is 1” copper with optional 1”/ 3/4” PVC or
¾” copper kits available as a special order. Each tail piece,
o’ring, split ring and nut is presassembled at the factory. Align a
tail piece assembly to the bypass valve threaded inlet and insert
until the nut can be tightened. Hand tighten the nut because
excessive tightening will damage the assembly. REPEAT THE
PROCEDURE FOR THE OUTLET CONNECTION.

Service and Drain Piping:
1. Pipe water softener into the service lines. The inlet and outlet
connections of the control valve are 1” copper or PVC and are
located on the back of the valve body. As you face the timer the
inlet is on the right and the outlet is on the left. Always follow local
plumbing codes when installing our water treatment equipment.
2. If sweat fittings are used, be sure soldering is done in such a manner
as not to allow heat to reach the control valve or bypass. (If
Schedule 80 PVC is used make sure to follow the proper primer and
solvent instructions.)
3. The drain line connection is 5/8” OD or ¾” npt and is located on the
top left of the valve as you face the timer. It is recommended you
install a ¾” union on the drain line for servicing if not using 5/8 OD.
The drain line must be of adequate size to allow for full regeneration
flow.
DRAIN LINE
CONNECTION
• The control valve drain connection is 3/4" npt.
• Never decrease the drain piping size to below the
drain connection size.
• Maximum drain line length is 30 feet with proper
sloping the entire length.
• Maximum drain line height is 6 feet above the control
valve.
• The drain line must be piped to an open air gap (See
Figure above)
• Always follow local plumbing codes.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THERE BE A DIRECT
CONNECTION WITH SANITARY SEWAGE FACILITIES.

Electrical Requirements:
Always follow all local electrical codes when installing our water
treatment equipment.
1. Provide an 115v/60Hz properly grounded dedicated electrical
Outlet. (It’s very important that the polarity be correct)
Avoid using outlets that are switch controlled.
2. Maximum amperage required is 5 amps.
3. Make sure the electrical service provides power 24 hours per day.
We recommend installing a surge protector to protect unit from
power surges, which are not covered by warranty.
Brine Tank:
1. The brine tank should be located directly beside the water softener
mineral tank.
2. Connect the 3/8" poly tubing to the 3/8” black elbow compression
fitting located on the top left side of the MCA control valve.
See Figure Below.
3/8” BRINE LINE
CONNECTION
The brine tank is equipped with a shutoff valve, the float height
was preset at the factory.

Filling Water Softener with Water:
1. Connect the MP-MCA control valve transformer into the electrical
outlet provided.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button until the drive motor starts. When
the drive motor stops, the display will read “RINSE” position.
3. Press the REGEN again until the drive motor starts. When the drive
motor stops, the display will read “BRINE” position.
4. Press the REGEN again until the drive motor starts. When the drive
motor stops, the display will read “RINSE” position. The fast rinse
position will rinse the softener tank.
5. Open the inlet ball valve a ¼ turn of its full open position to allow
water to enter the water softener mineral tank slowly. The water is
going to enter the tank from the bottom of the distributor pipe and
leave the tank from the top. This will slowly purge all the air from the
tank.
IF WATER ENTERS THE TANK TOO FAST, ALL THE CATION
RESIN WILL BE FLUSHED TO DRAIN DURING START UP.
6. When only water is running to the drain, open the inlet and outlet ball
valves fully.
7. Press and hold the REGEN button until the drive motor starts. When
the drive motor stops, the display will read “FILL” position. The brine
tank will fill with the proper amount of water.
NOTE: THE TIMER WILL AUTOMATICALLY ADVANCE TO THE
SERVICE POSITION AND THE DISPLAY WILL READ THE CAPACITY
REMAINING, IN GALLONS.

Final Check:
1. Fill the brine tank with Solar Salt and the Res-Up Feeders with ResUp (one quart is provided).
2. Make sure the drain line connection meets all plumbing codes and
that the drain line size can handle the backwash flow rate of the
softener.
3. Make sure the Inlet and Outlet on bypass valve are open.
4. Make sure the control valve timer is plugged into an electrical outlet
with power 24 hours per day.
5. Check all piping for leaks.
